A copay is typically required with most insurance providers. The amount differs based on what treatment is needed and how much your insurance covers. Most insurances cover consultations, x-rays and basic cleanings at 100%.
We recommend taking x rays every year to catch any underlying issues. Dental X-rays are extremely low in radiation. The radiation exposure from standard digital dental x-rays is very minimal, with a dosage of 0.001 mSv. This is much lower than other gadgets that people use on a normal day such as cellphones, Bluetooth headsets, etc.
Sealants are important for children because they help protect them from tooth decay. Sealants can last for up to ten years, or until children are better at caring for their teeth.

Children develop their teeth under the gum line in the womb even though their first tooth may not erupt until they are six months old. Once that first tooth pops out it is exposed to milk, cereal, baby food, toys, dirty blankets and anything else your active infant can get his hands on. Schedule a “Meet the Dentist” appointment for your baby today and introduce him to the wonders of the dental office. He can sit in the chair and ride it up and down, look at the pretty light, and the doctor can get a good peek and make sure everything looks A-Okay. Next time when he comes back, he will know where he’s going and will not be apprehensive of the dentist at all, we will all be friends.
We offer traditional braces as well as Invisalign. Schedule a consultation with our doctor today to see if she recommends braces for you or your child.
We always preauthorize with your Insurance Carrier before discussing your Treatment Plan with you. In some cases, insurance carriers may pay less than what they approved. In these cases, a balance will be due, and we will have to bill you for the remainder. We take all precautions to try and avoid such a situation.
We accept all forms of payment cash, check, credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover). Additionally, we offer affordable payment plans through Care Credit, Alpheon Finance, Lending Point, Proceed Finance, Sunbit and Covered Care.
Absolutely. Dentures require maintenance as well to ensure they maintain a comfortable fit as your gum and tissue profile continues to change over time. Additionally you may be a candidate for implants.
